Are some people really that sensitive in that little area behind the mandible and below-ish the ear? Like I get an elbow jammed into there constantly when we're working Kimuras from the mount and its mildly discomforting at best, not tap-worthy.. Was that blonde kid tapping just because he feared the Sensei powers?

It doesn't bother me much either, but a lot of people find it unbearable. Unreliable.

Investigating a dojo full of fat clumsy people wearing black belts is like investigating McDonalds for serving unhealthy food. The people who are gonna eat there are gonna eat there. And the people who aren't don't need to be told munching on bacon double cheeseburgers will turn you into a fat ass.

I think that first video is from the World Martial Arts Association headed by Mike Dealy (who's been talked about here before). You can basically buy dans hence so many 4th, 5th, 6th degree belts. The youtube channel is great fun to watch (though it may have recently been made private).

I was more concerned with listing MMA and BJJ on their video description than their krotty bullshit. Also, Judo. I was expecting to find false claims of rank, but it looks like there aren't any.
